Led Headlight

ST1300? See this thread. There's a bit of reading.

However if you want a quick answer, an F2 or a clone.

Headlight LED -- F2 vs F3 vs NB35 | Lighting / Visibility

There are LED bulbs that have more power than the F2 LED bulb. F2 is 33 watts. F3 is 44 watts. NB35 is 44 watts. They both produce 33% more power than the F2. So they are brighter but.... You cannot compare these by which has the highest peak brightness. The F2 and the F3 have about the same...

f3 leds with f2 shield. The one I recommend to others at the moment.


or many others that are made like these.
I have not made any money off of these things,
now I am just another happy user of something that does what it is suppose to do.

Thank you for all the information, I do have another question, If I go with the F3 do I have to bend or cut off the tabs to make it work, (2007 ST 1300), when I click the link amazon opens but it's showing doesn't fit my bike?
 
Yes, you'll need to bend off the two lower tabs. Make sure you get the H4/9003 style (in case there are others listed)
 
The old cyclops bulb is a good off road bulb.
It does not have the refinements that the newer F2 and related bulbs have.
The closer to the design of the original halogen bulb the better the light distribution.
Shape, focus, filament placement.
They are the small details that make a difference.

I would customize the headlights to not have angel or demon eyes, too flashy for me. I see the option for no demon eyes but not the angel eyes but I'm sure a phone call or email would clear that up.

For me, I'm after the HIDs and projectors. These products (generally speaking) have been on the market so long now, it's easy to get replacement parts and quality is much better than years ago. HIDs with projectors are far more superior than traditional halogens.

LEDs or HIDs in traditional halogen housings are terrible.

While once very true, that is no longer the case. Read up on the information on F2 style LED headlamps posted by @spiderman302. They are designed to be used in reflectors designed for halogen bulbs. They provide excellent light output and pattern.
